Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Receives Broad Praise Despite Mixed Team Performance

The Dallas Cowboys have had an uneven start to the 2025 NFL season with a 1-2-1 record, but quarterback Dak Prescott is performing at an elite level, drawing praise from insiders and team leadership alike. Prescott has posted impressive stats, including 280 passing yards per game and standout performances such as his recent game against the Green Bay Packers where he threw for 319 yards and four total touchdowns. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has praised Prescott as playing better than ever, highlighting his key role in the team's efforts to return to the playoffs after missing out in 2024. Prescott has expressed his ambition not to just match former Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, but to reach the heights of Super Bowl-winning predecessors Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman. Wide receiver George Pickens, who has stepped up in the absence of CeeDee Lamb, has also voiced strong support for Prescott, emphasizing his leadership and skill. As the Cowboys prepare to face the struggling New York Jets, Prescott is focused on clear communication and preparation to lead his team to victory and build momentum for the season.
